As long as it wasn't below -15C that thing started and ran every time I needed it to... only had about 50k miles (old lady PO) had no clear coat left from being left in the sun and the exhaust would leak no matter how many times I got it repaired... but that thing was a tank in snow.

Yeah, mine was my sister's hand-me-down that I too had to hand down; then I went out and bought a '78 with an '81 front clip - $500 in '86. Drove it from 50K miles then sold it again in '90 for $500.

not sure of the brand, my dad put them on in '98-99 or so. 17x9 polished to a mirror shine. i really like them, then again we also had crager 14" on our '69 cougar...very 80s..just upgraded them to 15" american racing wheels this summer. nothing wrong with period mod's
so long as the owner is happy thats all that matters. i could say the same crappy remarks about other users excursion mods that i dont like, but i dont. i say hey your happy an thats all that matters good job with the work. pretty simple and respectful.
